GreatAndhra | Apr 07, 2019

The National Democratic Alliance led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi may get a thin majority with 275 seats, only three seats more than the magic mark, in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, a pre-poll survey found on Saturday.

The BJP's tally may fall from present 282 to 230 seats, 42 short of the midway mark of 272 in the 543-seat Lok Sabha, said the latest India TV-CNX opinion poll telecast on Saturday.

"The BJP, post-air strike, is projected to make a clean sweep of all seven Lok Sabha seats in Delhi," it said.

"The survey gives a projection for NDA win in 275 seats, followed by Congress-led UPA in 147 seats, and 'Others' including SP, BSP, TMC, TRS, regional parties and independents projected to win in 121 seats," it added.

In the state assembly polls being held concurrently, the ruling Biju Janata Dal would retain power in Odisha and is projected to win 100 out of a total of 147 seats. It projected BJP to win 31 seats and Congress nine seats in Odisha.

The opposition YSR Congress is expected to storm to power in Andhra Pradesh and is projected to win 100 out of a total of 175 assembly seats, the survey said.
